Apple's Health app adds support for Microsoft Band 2 

The Health app for the iPhone gets an update to support different features of Microsoft's Band 2. The update adds things like a new barometer and tracking functions for things like VO2 max monitoring or recording shots during golf. It now even comes with a scorecard to record golf games. The Band 2 will start shipping at the end of the month on October 30th in the U.S. and retails for US$249. Hopefully it makes its way here soon.

Facebook's 'On This Day' feature now helps you filter out unwanted memories

A loss of a loved one, a failed relationship, these are some things you don't want to be reminded of. But Facebook's "On This Day" feature can sometimes unearth unpleasant memories. Thankfully, you now have more control to filter some of these out. The feature gets new options that lets you either filter out specific people or dates or both of these. This will prevent any posts, photos, statuses you've been tagged in, date you friended someone, and big life events that involve these people.

Adobe and Dropbox partner to make it easier to access PDFs 

Adobe and Dropbox is now offering a more seamless way to access PDF files to and from Dropbox and Adobe Acrobat Reader. It's available now on desktop and Mac so you can now open PDFs you have stored in your Dropbox right from Adobe apps. The edits you make on these files will automatically be synced on your Dropbox. This also makes it easier to share with collaborators by trimming down some of the steps. iOS integration is coming soon so you'll be able to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader mobile app and edit right from there. The file will also be synced with Dropbox from there. Android integration is coming a bit later though. It's slated for a 2016 release.
